Ayon sa DepEd, ang pagpili ng isang estudyante para sa kanyang espesyalisasyon ay isinagawa sa pamamagitan ng “assessments to determine their strengths and interests.” Ayon pa sa kagawaran, “these will include an aptitude test, a career assessment exam, and an occupational interest inventory for high schools. Career advocacy activities will also be conducted to help guide students in choosing their specialization or track.” Kaugnay nito, “Specializations or tracks to be offered will be distributed according to the resources available in the area, the needs and interests of most students, and the opportunities and demands of the community.”
